Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often funny, sometimes poignant short stories recall the authors experiences as a rebellious young girl from Chicago. Growing up in the upper middle-class neighborhood of South Shore, she perpetually feels like a misfit, yearning to get out. Only with her mothers much younger sister, her Aunt Flo, does she feel a comfortable sense of belonging. These memoirs take her out of the midwest and into the worlds of theatre and literature on the East Coast while the recurring theme of her supportive, witty, opinionated, progressive aunt remains with her and runs throughout. Anyone with a sense of humor, who has ever longed to be in another place in another time, will appreciate Sinclairs wit and vivid descriptions of the world as she knew it during the mid-decades of the twentieth century. These hilarious, sensitive stories cut right to the bone. A terrific read. Adele Scheele, Ph.D, Career Coach, Author of Skills for Success

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the senior editor for Stillwater Publishing, Abigail Cole was the editor from hell. She could bring the mightiest scribes and the biggest egos to heel with the stroke of her famed red pen. However when the days of the well-crafted book at Stillwater went out of the window in favor of celebrity tell-alls and novels written by the latest neophytes du jour, Abigail packed up her red pen, moved onto greener pastures and started a successful public relations firm with her best friend, Shana Collingsworth. After seven seasons as quarterback for the New York Giants, Sam Best retired to focus on his legacy and build his future with his fiancée, Maria Carrangelo. So when he was offered a contract to write his life story, it was a no-brainer until he discovered putting pen to paper was harder than he thought. When his manager Reggie Shaw realized his client needed a life preserver he asked his friend Abby to un-retire her red pen to work with Sam. With an editorial deadline overhead, Abby and Sam work together. At first she's a taskmaster, but eventually Sam begins to see her as something more than a tough editor. She was a sexy woman. Soon Abby begins to see Sam as being different from what she expected in an athlete. He was warm, sexy and giving. As attraction turns into love, can they overlook the external and internal pressures in their lives to find happiness together?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a Girl Like You may well be Kingsley Amis’s most ambitious reckoning with the serious subject at the heart of his work: the sheer squalor—emotional, material, sexual, you name it—of modern life. It also introduces one of the rare unqualified good guys in Amis’s rogue-ridden world: Jenny Bunn, a girl from the (English) north country come south to teach school in a small smug town where she hopes to find love and fortune. Jenny is a beauty and men and women are crazy about her, most of all handsome Patrick Standish, who Jenny also likes. But Jenny and Patrick live in a world where it’s becoming ridiculously difficult—disastrously difficult—to sort out the claims of sex and the claims of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do yourself a favor and say yes to the perfect bookish escape." —Lucy Gilmore, author of The Lonely Hearts Book Club You've heard of Year of Yes. Introducing... Year of No. During one unforgettable year in their twenties, best friends Emma, Fern, Carolina, and Andi make a pact to embrace whatever life throws at them, inspiring Fern to write a memoir detailing their escapades and the magical power of saying Yes. But fast forward twenty years and they have reached their bandwidth of responsibilities. Fern is a full-time writer struggling to pay the bills. Carolina is a fitness-obsessed workaholic. Andi is a disillusioned human rights lawyer. And Emma is a stressed-out divorcée in the thick of planning her daughter’s wedding. To reconnect to the fun, fulfilled women they were before, they must learn how to stop saying Yes to everything asked of them. And so begins the "Year of No." Heartfelt, emotionally perceptive and sharply funny, Tired Ladies Take a Stand celebrates the bonds of female friendship and women reclaiming their autonomy in a world that expects them to do it all.

This is followed by an analysis of some aspects of the early women’s movement. In the third section economic approaches to the basis of women’s oppression are examined for their usefulness and limitations. The second half of the book includes articles on: The culture of teenage girls Young working class women at home Woman - the problem of femininity as constructed in this magazine Women’s reproductive role through class and history Anthropology Women, kinship structures and family. This combination of theoretical work and contemporary case studies engages constructively with the traditions of cultural analysis from a feminist perspective, and contributes to the study of women’s situation in Britain.

It’s a collection of interviews and essays by great women, including Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, and Melissa Etheridge. They will inspire you to become a better leader.” —Beyoncé Prompted by a question from her eight-year-old daughter during the 2008 election of Barack Obama—“Why haven’t we ever had a woman president?”—Marianne Schnall set out on a journey to find the answer. A widely published writer, author, and interviewer, and the Executive Director of Feminist.com, Schnall began looking at the issues from various angles and perspectives, gathering viewpoints from influential people from all sectors. What Will It Take to Make A Woman President? features interviews with politicians, public officials, thought leaders, writers, artists, and activists in an attempt to discover the obstacles that have held women back and what needs to change in order to elect a woman into the White House. With insights and personal anecdotes from Sheryl Sandberg, Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, Nancy Pelosi, Nicholas Kristof, Melissa Etheridge, and many more, this book addresses timely, provocative issues involving women, politics, and power. With a broader goal of encouraging women and girls to be leaders in their lives, their communities, and the larger world, Schnall and her interviewees explore the changing paradigms occurring in politics and in our culture with the hope of moving toward meaningful and effective solutions—and a world where a woman can be president.

The good thing is, He provides the ideal model for you to follow on your way to reaping monetary rewards and gaining even more of your greatest asset on this earth: time. Carolyn Castleberry leads women through the process of creating, considering, and investing. Creating involves planning for your new life—you’ll learn to take responsibility and identify a mission statement. Considering means you’ll evaluate your investment options and trust the Holy Spirit. By the time you’re ready to invest, you’ll create a realistic budget, understand the credit game, and create an action plan for conquering debt. This book is your ticket to a new life grounded in financial freedom! A Proven Plan for Financial Success Meet your problem: • Today’s volatile job market is about to take you hostage (or already has). • You suddenly have huge financial responsibilities you never had before. • Retirement looms, begging you for a plan. • Thinking about, dealing with, or strategizing anything “money” bores you, freaks you out, or makes you feel stupid. “My own financial journey began the day I realized that I didn’t know anything about money. Never mind that I had a business degree and hosted a national radio show for women. ” —Carolyn Castleberry “A must-read for anyone who desires to find significance in life.” -Kelly Wright, National network correspondent “God has always had His love and favor on women, and when we understand our role from God’s perspective, we become liberated to fulfill our purpose.” -Anne Beiler, Founder of Auntie Anne’s, Inc. “God never said for you to be either passive or in the dark about money. Read this and get busy. You will be glad you did.” -Dr. Henry Cloud, Bestselling author of the Gold Medallion Award-winning Boundaries Story Behind the Book “The day I realized I didn’t know anything about money—even though I have a business degree and experience hosting a national business radio show for women—was the day I held my baby girl in my arms for the first time. I did not have a choice about whether to work or stay at home; we simply didn’t have enough money. After applying this financial model, I was able to walk away from a job in television news that I had held for fourteen years. God means it when He offers us abundant life, here and eternally. This book reveals a realistic example for today’s women who long to be free and have meaningful, prosperous lives.” —Carolyn Castleberry
